2. layer B
3. Igneous rock can push up into sedimentary rock layers from below, disturbing the layers, or igneous rock can flow out on top of the layers, covering the older layers with younger igneous rock.
4. top row: a drawing of a particular index fossil; middle row: a sentence using the term; bottom row: fossils of organisms that were common, lived in many areas, and existed during a certain span of time
5. The rock layer would be between 206 and 248 million years old; that is the time this kind of sea animal lived.
6. the actual age of an event or object; determining the age of rocks
7. to describe certain kinds of elements and to date both rocks and fossils; example: Uranium-235 has a half-life of 704 million years.
8. The calculated age would be older than the actual age of the rock itself. Sandstone is a sedimentary rock, which is made up of older rocks, so the age the geologist calculated would be older than the age of the sandstone.
